International Trends & Services

The International Trends and Services facet works to fulfill the objectives of The Links, Incorporated by developing a greater awareness of international issues and multicultural events through personal involvement, commitment and enrichment of international concerns. Our belief is that people must be involved in the improvement and quality of their lives to strengthen linkages within the global villages, establish communities within our extended families particularly on the African continent and throughout the world.
